Elizabeth Walter

Elizabeth Walter (1927 – 8 May 2006) was an English writer of novels and short stories in the horror and fantasy genres.

She was born in London but grew up in the Welsh Border country (Herefordshire), and lived in London in later life though with periodic returns to the Wye Valley and the Black Mountains. An editor for the British publishing house Collins, she edited their Crime Club titles for more than thirty years, from 1961 until she retired in 1994 and the imprint was brought to a close.

She authored six short story collections and four novels. Three of her stories were filmed for television. Several of her supernatural tales were inspired by travels in other countries, especially Germany. She also edited ''A Christmas Scrapbook'' for Collins (1979, ISBN 0 00 216196 6), a selection of Victorian images from the Mansell Collection alongside "quaint and curious items of Christmas lore".
